Serves: 20
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. block (not ball) of mozzarella cheese, cut into strips (20 is a good number)
  • 5 whole eggs, beaten
  • ¼ cup garbanzo bean flour (optional)
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp. mineral or pink salt
  • Lard, refined coconut oil or avocado oil for frying (I used 1 pint)
Instructions
  1. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat for the coated cheese sticks. They will be frozen on this sheet.
  2. Place garbanzo bean flour in a gallon-sized ziplock, if using.
  3. Put beaten egg in a meal-sized square or oblong container. It should be flat on the bottom to make coating easier.
  4. Place parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and salt in another meal-sized container and mix well.
  5. Working in small batches, add the cheese sticks to the bean flour bag and shake to cover. Remove them to a plate or baking pan nearby as you coat them.
  6. When you’re finished coating the sticks with the bean flour, dip in egg to thoroughly coat all sides and immediately dredge in the parmesan cheese mixture.
  7. Place on the prepared baking sheet so they are not touching.
  8. Freeze for up to 2 months.
  9. When you are ready to cook the cheese sticks, you may cook them from frozen. There is no need to thaw them.
  10. Heat up oil in small saucepan to 350˚ or until a small piece of bread placed in the oil begins frantically bubbling around the edges.
  11. Carefully, with long tongs, place 3-4 cheese sticks in the oil and cook just until they are browned. Watch closely! They cook very fast.
  12. Remove to a baking sheet covered with paper towels.
  13. Repeat with remaining cheese sticks.
